Parker Valby Does It! Florida Track And Field Star Crushes NCAA 10K Record – FloTrack
Parker Valby didn’t just break the NCAA collegiate 10,000 meter on April 11 at the 2024 Bryan Clay Invitational.
She absolutely annihilated it.
The University of Florida superstar clocked an astounding 30 minutes, 50.43 seconds on Thursday at Azusa Pacific, lowering a collegiate record by 28 seconds that had stood for 24 years.
Iowa State’s Lisa Uhl was the last to do it in 2010, clocking 31:18.07 at the Stanford Invitational 14 years ago.
Valby, the reigning NCAA Division I champ at 3,000 and 5,000 meters and in cross country, hit the automatic ‘A’ Olympic standard, too, dipping below the necessary 31:30 mark.
In fact, her performance is only now slightly outside the top 10 performances in U.S. women’s 10K history, with Molly Huddle holding the No. 10 mark at 30:47.59.
Valby is now the 11th-fastest woman in U.S. history, just behind Deena Kastor’s 30:50.32 from 2002. Her time was also good for fifth-best in the world and second-best in the U.S., only behind Weini Kelati’s 30:33.82 from The TEN in March.
Valby was coming off an indoor 5K record at NCAA Indoors in March, wherein she clocked a leading time of 14:52.79.
BYU’s Jenna Hutchins, ninth in the 5,000 meters indoors at NCAAs in March, was second overall in 32:52.01, while West Texas A&M’s Florance Uwajeneza was third in 32:52.54.

The Florida Attorney General’s Office on Thursday, Dec. 11, filed a lawsuit against popular online gaming platform Roblox, accusing the company of failing to protect its millions of underage users from predatory adults who would “find, groom, and abuse children.”
“Roblox aggressively markets to young children, but fails to protect them from sexual predators,” Attorney General James Uthmeier said in a post to X. “As a father of three little ones and as Florida’s attorney general, my number one priority is simple: to protect our kids.”
The lawsuit claims Florida children have been talked into taking and sending sexual images of themselves and lists several recent incidences, including a 20-year-old California man arrested last month for having sexually explicit conversations with a Palm Coast child and asking for nude photos.
A Roblox spokesperson said the lawsuit “fundamentally misrepresents how Roblox works.”
“We have advanced safeguards that monitor our platform for harmful content and communications,” Roblox Chief Safety Officer Matt Kaufman said in a statement, adding that the company — currently the most downloaded game in the world — will be rolling out additional safeguards “beyond what is required by law and what other platforms do.”

What is Roblox?
San Mateo, California-based Roblox, released in 2006, hosts millions of user-created games (or “experiences”) constructed with the platform’s built-in game engine. Any user can create a game and share it with others, and there are millions of games available of all types.
The game platform and most games are free to use, but some cost to play. There is also a thriving economy based on Robux, an in-game virtual currency used to purchase virtual items. Roblox offers a subscription service called Roblox Premium that provides access to more features and a monthly allowance of Roblox.
Voice chat is available, but only for users aged 13 or older with verified ages. Age ratings were introduced for games in 2022, and in 2023, 17+ games were permitted to include more graphic violence, romance, and drinking.
According to Roblox, as of 2020, the monthly playerbase included half of all American children under the age of 16.
